A canonical study of the priesthood of God's people
and of Christ

God's Mediators shows that there are many
investigations of the Old Testament priests and the New Testament’s
appropriation of such imagery to describe Jesus Christ. There are also studies
of Israel’s corporate priesthood and what this means for the priesthood of God’s
new covenant people. However, such studies are less frequently connected with
one another: key interrelations are missed, and key questions are not
addressed.

Making two passes across the tapestry of Scripture,
Andrew Malone traces these two threads and their intersections, with an eye to
the contemporary relevance of both themes in both Testaments.

Malone shows how our Christology and perseverance
as God’s people are enhanced by the way the book of Hebrews depicts Christ’s own
priesthood. Furthermore, Christians better understand their corporate identity
and mission by discerning both the ministry of individual Old Testament priests
and Israel’s corporate calling. Combining the various biblical emphases on
priesthood in one place provides synergies that are too easily
disregarded.
